What is the NIST SSDF for Strategy and BizOps course about?

NIST SSDF is often treated as a technical baseline, not a strategic asset. That leaves BizOps leaders under-leveraged when influencing roadmap decisions, vendor diligence, and cross-team risk posture. Without a structured way to apply the framework beyond compliance checklists, high-potential initiatives get overlooked.
